One Of The Most Common Birth Defects In The World Is Hearing Loss

One of the most common birth defects in the world is hearing loss. Every 1,000 babies are born with permanent hearing loss in one or both ears. Hearing loss can have a significant impact on a baby's development.

CapitalBio created Hereditary #Deafness Gene Detection Item using semiconductor sequencing technology. It can identify #100 mutant sites on 18 deafness-related genes such as GJB2, SLA26A4, GJB3, MT-RNR1, and others. This detection is more than 99.9 percent accurate.

The Bioelectron gene sequencer 4000 platform was created in collaboration with Thermo Fisher. It can detect 384 samples at the same time.
